Daddy Rockin Strong: A Tribute to Nolan Strong & The Diablos is a vinyl-only tribute album released by The Wind Records and distributed by Norton Records.

It features thirteen Nolan Strong covers by various rock and roll, punk and garage bands, including The Dirtbombs, Reigning Sound, Mark Sultan, Wreckless Eric & Amy Rigby, Outrageous Cherry, The Hentchmen, Cub Koda, Andre Williams, and Lenny Kaye, among others. [1]

The record was compiled in memory of the late Nolan Strong - a Detroit-based R&B singer known for a his high tenor voice that influenced a young Smokey Robinson. Strong, who signed to Fortune Records in 1954, was a pre-Motown sensation. He is best known for his hit songs "The Wind" and "Mind Over Matter." He died in 1977 and is buried in Detroit. Because Fortune Records seized operations in the mid 1980s, Strong's music has remained out-of-print since then.
